Bob Feller last career win scored program and signed ticket
I was recently able to pick up a beautifully scored program to HOF Bob Feller's last career win # 266. Feller came into this game in relief of CLE starting pitcher Herb Score and pitched the 7th and 8th inning, ultimately getting the win. The starter for the Yankees was WS Perfect Game pitcher Don Larsen. This provided an excellent complimentary piece to pair up with a ticket from the same game that I have owned for a number of years.
The ticket has some sentimental value as well, as I had Mr. Feller sign it in DET the last time my son Sam and I saw him before he passed away.
Rapid Robert signed the back of the ticket with this inscription:
"Bob Feller- Last career win # 266"
On August 27, 1955, as previously noted, it marked the last harrah for HOF Bob Feller. Ironically on the same day, HOF Sandy Koufax recorded his 1st career win.
Literally a passing of the torch for two of the greatest pitchers to ever take the mound...
The photo that I have included is one of my personal favorites. It was taken before his 1st start after he returned from WWII.
